Our Story

Red Stallion Wines' Journey

Charles “Chuck” Farina has always been inspired by craftsmanship and culture. What started with vineyard visits in Tuscany, Napa, and Sonoma eventually led him to Bordeaux, the heart of the wine world.

In 2023, a trip to the historic town of Blaye sparked something deeper—he restored a 17th-century flat there and soon became co-owner of Étalon Rouge, a boutique winery. Through Red Stallion Wines, Chuck now shares the remarkable Bordeaux wines he discovered and the stories of the winemakers behind them with wine lovers in Pennsylvania and beyond.

Authenticity

Direct relationships with Bordeaux winemakers let us share the true story behind each wine.

Exclusivity

Quality

Every selection is hand-picked for balance, complexity, and value.

Bringing Bordeaux Home

Red Stallion Wines is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with deep roots in Bordeaux. We are more than wine importers—we are storytellers, curators, and
ambassadors for one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions.

We source directly from châteaux in Blaye, Bourg, Pomerol, and Saint-Émilion, ensuring every bottle carries not only exceptional quality, but also the soul of its terroir.
